Unable to Bring Button 2 Front

Dan Jackson

4 years ago

Has anyone worked out a way around this bug? I have a list box displaying a Summed figure and would like to put a transparent button in front.

The issue is, applying "Send to back/Send to front" doesn't do anything, the list box always stays in front.

I was hoping to use the command button as i like the hyperlink hand but not a massive deal if not. Cheers

(I've coloured the button to show the effect)

I don't think it is possible to put a control in front of a list box (apart from another list box). I guess Microsoft figured users wouldn't want to cover the data (they don't cater for every situation). The Hyperlink hand is pretty cool though and I really wish it was part of the Screen.MousePointer property.

I've tried putting the link that was on the button directly on the listbox but that doesn't work. Also tried using a text box and attempting to display the contents of the list box in it but it won't. Weak link is the list box but not sure how else to display the data from the query. Guess i'm at my final option of putting a button next to the figure. Looks aweful but serves the purpose
